The Google app is now adding a new “Activity” tab to replace the existing “Saved” tab. The new tab will allow you to quickly access your search history from both Chrome and the Google app itself.

Google is rolling out the new feature to the Google app in what appears to be a beta right now, as not many users. The new “Activity” tab will serve as a central hub for managing saved items that are currently in the “Saved” tab, while also allowing you to access your search history from Chrome and the Google app.
The new “Activity” tab offers a fully native app experience and doesn’t look like a simple web view-based interface. You have a more comprehensive way to interact with your browsing and search history. The tab will allow you to view, manage, and take actions such as saving, sharing, or deleting specific history items.

According to Android Authority contributor Assemble Debug, the feature has been in development for two months. It appears that the current rollout is part of a testing phase before a wider rollout. A global rollout is expected in the coming weeks, so you may not have to wait long to take advantage of this feature.
The new “Activity” tab was spotted in version 15.44.25.29.arm64 of the Google app, as well as on a Pixel 7 Pro running Android 15. The feature doesn’t require any additional configuration to enable, but as we’ve already said, it’s not widely available at this time.

The feature-rich experience that the Google app offers is very appealing to many users. Having an Activity tab with options and all your history is very useful, especially since it's a native app experience on your phone and not a simple web experience.
